The NRA has built a reputation for being able to sway elections with its deep pockets. While they do contribute significant funds to a few races every election cycle, the majority of their contributions are far less than you might think. For example, the NRA has claimed responsibility for the outcomes of the US House races below, where their contribution was less than $100.
